We had that here today too. But rainy, possibly becoming sleet and freezing rain tonight.

Hey, my fellow horology friend, I’m there soon. Please keep tread moving forward!

A crisp -9 this morning in the Methow Valley.
Locals were out early to take advantage of freshly groomed trails. I wait until temperatures hit double digits when possible.

Brr. Well it's mid 20's and lightly snowing back here at home. If we get enough, you could ski to work.

Me: You can't have all four seasons in one week.

Mother Nature: Here, hold my beer.

It's been really weird here this past week. From snow to 82. Nuts.

Just ask Sunny.

Looks like 14” of thick heavy snow. Power out.

Got you beat DD. Closer to 20" by me and had a tree come down in front of my garage. Looks like I'm not getting to work tomorrow either.

Man, I hope everybody who's affected by this storm is safe and well-prepared.

We were waiting to head to the airport for our flight to Hong Kong, which originates in New York. Flight's delayed now by more than 3 hours, and so we won't make our connection to Singapore. Same airline (Cathay Pacific) both legs, so I'm hoping that, knowing of the delay, they have already booked us on a later flight.

Never thought an East coast storm would impact us on the West coast. We'll get to our destination eventually, and meanwhile be stuck drinking Champagne in the lounge for a while before we board and drink Champagne for the flight. First world problem.

Had to put on a long sleeve shirt when I was walking the dogs this morning

Best wishes from the two of us

Spring is coming, as is some more snow for our area. We're expecting 3-6" over the next couple of days in my neck of the woods.

I WANT SPRING BACK!

4-8" of snow forecast for us through tomorrow. Spring has sprung!

In 1942, DC had about a foot of snow on March 28-29. In our lifetime, on March 18 1958 DC had about 5" but the northern suburbs had over a foot. and on Mar 11, 1993 DC had about 10" with the northern suburbs getting about 18"

Another foot and a half of snow projected for NJ. I got 2 feet of snow in the last one and lost a few trees

It was 1983, if I recall correctly. We got over 2 feet with heavy winds.

I was driving a truck on the night shift during this storm. On my way back to the lot around 8 AM, I couldn't even see the edges of the road from the shoulder. Barely made it. Power-slid my way down into the lot to find my 1967 VW buried up to the roof in drifts. Abandoned my truck, wrapped trash bags around my legs with duct tape, and jumped the back of a northbound plow 5 miles to a few blocks from my apartment. Picked my wife up from her job at the store she worked at and we waded home. First time I had two days off in a row in over a year.

True story.

Crazy season. Almost zero winter in Santa Fe and landscape crew very busy for weeks already at our Dallas home.

Shoveling done. 5" of heavy slush to move. Good excuse to open a bottle of Champagne. 1995 Blanc des Millenaires still showing well.

Needed a jacket walking the dogs. Was shocked at a 10-15 degree temp drop in an hour last night

A week ago, it hit 70°. Tomorrow, they're talking possible snow.

Well, if that was the same day it sounds like Colorado.

Sounds like Arkansas to me!

Too warm in Utah, got rain instead of snow.

18 degrees walking the pup this morning.

Tomorrow morning 25.
There was a story on the news a bit ago about the "first day of spring."
